Several strategies can be employed to minimize the generation of fines:
Material Selection: Using catalysts made from materials with higher mechanical strength and thermal stability can reduce fines generation. Process Optimization: Optimizing operating conditions, such as temperature and pressure, can help minimize thermal and mechanical stresses on the catalyst. Improved Reactor Design: Designing reactors to minimize particle collisions and attrition can help reduce fines generation. Regular Maintenance: Implementing a schedule of regular maintenance and inspection can help identify and address issues that may lead to increased fines generation.
